The dorado are averaging 25-30 lbs. Also in the mix was 5 blue marlin, (3 releases) with the fish all about 200 to 250 lbs.

Best Fishing Area: Billfish between 18 to 22 miles west of the Marina. Dorado was best out to the south, along the current lines and the yellowfin at 25-30 miles out to the south of the Marina.

Best Lure/Bait: Billfish on rigged mullet and artificials, green & yellow tuna feathers for the tuna and ballyhoo for the dorado.
